Republican senators are now pushing for sanctions on iran to be increased. joining me now, former secretary of state for public affairs and a fellow at george washington universities institute for public diplomacy and public communication. i said that in one breath. that s a lot. the iranians called the talks good and constructive. the white house found the ir iranian presentation useful. it was good but going forward the pub stance is difficult and the politics is also difficult. so a very good first step. certainly four years ago in the aftermath of disputed election of iran, there was paralysis by the iranian government. they couldn t focus four years ago. they re clearly focused now but there s lots of difficulties going forward. so the white house isn t denying this new york times article. the plan is speculative at this point. what do you think of unfreezing ....
